Crossing England, Scotland, wales and Ireland in 1 day each. I've done it - has anyone else?

Post by dgibby »

Hi
I cycled Achill Island on west coast of Ireland to Dublin last Saturday in one day. 204 miles.
I've previously crossed England (Seascale to Whitby), Scotland (Campbeltown to Aberdeen) and Wales (Caernarfon to Chepstow) in a day each.
Just wondering if anyone has done all 4 or am I (and my riding buddy John) the first?

Crossed Wales by foot in 16 hours if that counts. Clun to Aber. A nice walk and there's a guy who does it both ways in a little over a day, twice! Four times what I did! Respect to the ultras of walking/ running/ cycling.

Very impressive, but you made it harder for your self by not crossing at the shortest points.

In which case yes I've crossed all of them on foot at the shortest route at one time or other, took about 10 minutes each
